More quotes by Markus Zusak
Summer came. For the books thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews.
Markus Zusak
It is early, early morning. It's that time when it's still dark but you know the day is coming. Blue is bleeding through black. Stars are dying.
Markus Zusak
It's insane to be a writer and not be a reader. When I'm writing I'm more likely to be reading four or five books at once, just in bits and pieces rather than subjecting myself to a really brilliant book and thinking, Well what's the point of me writing anything? I'm more likely to read a book through when I take a break from writing.
Markus Zusak
Grimly, she realized that clocks don't make a sound that even remotely resembles ticking, tocking. It was more the sound of a hammer, upside down, hacking methodically at the earth. It was the sound of a grave.
Markus Zusak
My own eyes try to sleep, but they don't. They stay wide awake as time snarls forward and silence drops down, like measured thought.
Markus Zusak
If I ever leave this place- I'll make sure I'm better HERE first.
Markus Zusak
Because you don't learn anything unless you can find the patience to read. TV takes that away from you. It robs you from your mind.
Markus Zusak
You can't eat books, sweetheart.
Markus Zusak
I am hunted by humans.
Markus Zusak
Rosa Hubermann was sitting on the edge of the bed with her husband's accordion tied to her chest. Her fingers hovered above the keys. She did not move. She didn't ever appear to be breathing.
Markus Zusak
Outside is dark. The kitchen light is loud. It deafens me as I walk towards it.
Markus Zusak
I like to tell students, 'I didn't burst on to the literary scene.' I'm never good at things at the beginning. I was terrible at the start. I need to work and work.
Markus Zusak
THE LAST WORDS OF MAX VANDENBURG: You've done enough.
Markus Zusak
Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
Markus Zusak
It was one of those moments of perfect tiredness, of having conquered not only the work at hand, but the night who had blocked the way.
Markus Zusak
All my friends seem to be smart arses. Don't ask me why. Like many things, it is what it is.
Markus Zusak
I feel the fear, but I walk fast toward it.
Markus Zusak
How about a kiss, Saumensch?
Markus Zusak
The flyscreen door slammed behind me. My feet dragged. I reached each arm into the jacket. Warm sleeves. Crumpled collar. Hands in pockets. Okay. I walked.
Markus Zusak
I want to talk to him. I want to ask him about that girl and if he loved her and still misses her. Nothing, however, exits my mouth. How well do we really let ourselves know each other? There's a long quietness until I finally break it open. It reminds me of someone breaking bread and handing it out. In my case, I hand out a question to my friend.
